Proverbs 28:6

Compare all

4 ^aThose who forsake the law praise the wicked,
^bBut such as keep the law contend with them.

5 ^aEvil men do not understand justice,
But ^bthose who seek the Lord understand all.

6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

7 Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,
But a companion of gluttons shames his father.

8 One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion
Gathers it for him who will pity the poor.
